Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."

"Nonsense," laughed Rainsford. "This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes—the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are the hunters. Do you think we've passed that island yet?"

Read the excerpt of Zaroff speaking from "The Most Dangerous Game."

"Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. I am strong. Why should I not use my gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not? I hunt the scm of the earth—sailors from trmp ships—lascars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels—a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them."

How do these excerpts show the difference between Rainsford and Zaroff?

a) Rainsford believes that animals are inferior to humans and therefore deserve to be hunted, while Zaroff feels this way about other humans.
b) Rainsford has a deep feelings and sympathy for the prey he hunts, while Zaroff has no feelings or sympathy for his prey at all.
c) Rainsford believes that it is acceptable to hunt all things as long as they are weaker, while Zaroff hunts only human beings.
d) Rainsford hunts for pure amusement, while Zaroff believes he is performing a service by hunting the “sc*m of the earth.”

The short story of "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell tells the story of how a hunter became the hunted. The character of Sanger Rainsford, who is a reputed hunter, became the victim in one of the most gruesome game of hunting.

Rainsford and his friend Whitney were on their way to a hunting expedition when Rainsford got lost and was stranded in an island owned by General Zaroff. This island had a different type of hunting a game, for their victims are humans, weaker sections in the chain. Zaroff hunts them for his pleasure, which is also the way Rainsford feels about his hunted animals. But their difference lies in the identity of the hunted animals. While Rainsford believes that animals are inferior, thus the reason why hunting them is reasonable, Zaroff also hold this same belief except that his feelings about the inferiority of his hunted animals are humans just like him.
